| 33 | 51 | ## About <!--about--> | |
| 34 | − | Imperial Tobacco Holdings Limited is an intermediate holding company in the Imperial Brands group. It is registered in England as company 03087180, incorporated on 3 August 1995 under the name Attendfriend Limited and renamed on 7 June 1996, with its registered office at 121 Winterstoke Road, Bristol, the group head office, and a recorded business of activities of other holding companies.[^ch-ith] Companies House records Imperial Tobacco Holdings (2007) Limited, company 05987726, as the person with significant control over it, holding 75 per cent or more of the shares since 6 April 2016.[^psc-ith] It is in turn the registered controlling shareholder of Imperial Tobacco Limited, the group's United Kingdom operating company.[^psc-sub] | |
| 52 | + | Imperial Tobacco Holdings Limited is an intermediate holding company in the Imperial Brands group, registered in England as private limited company 03087180, active, with its registered office at 121 Winterstoke Road, Bristol, the group head office, and a recorded business of activities of other holding companies not elsewhere classified.[^ch-ith] Its direct owner is Imperial Tobacco Holdings (2007) Limited, company 05987726, which Companies House records as its sole active person with significant control, holding 75 per cent or more of the shares since 6 April 2016.[^psc-ith] That company's own filing names the listed group parent Imperial Brands PLC, company 03236483, as its person with significant control on the same notified date, so this company sits two steps below the top of the group.[^psc-2007] | |
| 53 | + | ||
| 54 | + | One step below it, Companies House records this company as the sole person with significant control of Imperial Tobacco Limited, company 01860181, the group's United Kingdom operating company, again with 75 per cent or more of the shares since 6 April 2016.[^psc-sub] The registration is older than the name it carries: Companies House shows it incorporated on 3 August 1995 as Attendfriend Limited and renamed on 7 June 1996.[^ch-ith] Its owner began the same way, incorporated on 3 November 2006 as Alnery No. 2648 Limited and renamed on 19 January 2007, which is where the year in that company's name comes from.[^ch-2007] The pair are separate registrations filed at the same Bristol address under near-identical names, and both are distinct from the operating company Imperial Tobacco Limited and from the listed parent Imperial Brands PLC, so the four are easily mistaken for one another; the walk up the group runs Imperial Tobacco Limited, this company, Imperial Tobacco Holdings (2007) Limited, Imperial Brands PLC. | |
